IDF arrests settlers from Ramat Migron who broke into Judea and
Samaria Division base in protest of Israel´s policy in West Bank

Nine teenagers were detained for investigation on Friday after they
broke into the IDF Judea and Samaria Division base in Beit El. They
were transferred to Shai Police for investigation.

During the incident, police and army forces were razing an illegal
structure erected in the West Bank outpost Hill-18, near Kiryat Arba.
Settlers in the area clashed with the security forces, but no
injuries or arrests were reported.

The IDF stated that the teenagers, aged 14-16, from Ramat Migron,
broke into the base in an apparent protest of the government´s
policies in the West Bank.

"Ten Israelis broke into the Judea and Samaria Division base with
protest signs against the IDF and against Israel´s policy toward the
outposts," the IDF Spokesperson´s Unit stated, adding that nine of
them were detained for questioning.

"The IDF sees these incidents with utmost gravity and regrets any
attempt to drag the military into political arguments. The incident
is under investigation," the statement added.
The incident occurred shortly after the State submitted a petition
with the High Court of Justice in a request to reconsider its appeal
against the eviction Beit El´s Ulpana Neighborhood, which was denied.
